Does anyone think Dak is better than Romo was?

So why watch? Why follow? Go follow another team. Don't you get tired of y'all's daily/yearly whining?

Because I am a Cowboys fan for life. Once you follow a team you stick with it. I've been there in the good times, been to two Super Bowl parades in the 90's. Been to one Stars Parade and one Maverick's Parade. I love my City.

Was Romo ever sacked 5 times and hit 14 in a playoff game he also scored 2 TDs in?

Then be supportive. The problem is not Dak. It's the Oline, Dline, playcalling and a few other positions of need.

I think he’s as good at this moment with an opportunity to get better. Ultimately, he’ll be judged by playoff success and right now he’s exactly where Romo was. Still have a few years to add to that playoff record…

They were both middle of the road.

Did I just use Dak past tense? My bad.

Dak is a problem along w/ a lot of other things.But things shouldn’t always have to be perfect for him to have success.Take off the blinders.

That's not a form of whining? You play with what you got, no excuses, especially if your QB does mistakes. Romo made plenty of mistakes too, and whenever someone was of the opinion at work that Romo lost the game because of an interception or that he was too fragile, I respected their opinions, though I did too think fixing the line would help things immensely. But isn't this whole excuse making a form of whining too. Woe me, if only Dak had a decent offensive line... when in reality it isn't even close to being one of the worse ones we've had.

Yeah, Romo did worse in the playoffs with better blocking. Romo never was sacked 5 times and hit 14 times while throwing for 2 TDs in any playoff game he ever played in, yet y'all say Dak is the problem?

Put the personal hate aside and understand what is truly the problem. It's not the QB.

Look AC the problem is Dak as well. I’ve been a Dak supporter and will continue to be but the lines are only part of the problem Dak is as well

no he’s not the main thing holding us back he’s gotten worse as the line has gotten worse but you cannot look at yesterday performance and turn a blind eye to Dak

Are you kidding? Have you watched this Oline the past 3 years? Did you watch the 49ers Oline? They totally dominated...constantly get a push and opening up huge holes for their RBs while keeping our Dline from even getting a sack on Garoppolo. Kyle Shanahan (like his dad) understands what is key to a successful team, and it starts with a well coached Oline. That's what his dad was known for...coaching up and building top of the league Olines. Dallas doesn't have that. Until we fix the Oline (and Dline) with better position coaches who know how to make them better, it won't matter what talent we get at QB, RB, WRs, LBs, DBs, etc.

I was livid when Romo wasn't even given a chance to compete in 16 and basically tossed to the curb like yesterday's trash. I mean Romo had his bad games. But to me,Tony was definitely a smarter QB as well as a better passer. Seemed to make lesser WRs better. Dak should be all world with this talent and he's not. He's an average QB propped up by the talent of the roster. Give him lesser receivers he's below average.

No, Romo was 10x better than Dak. What now?

Dak has made mistakes, and he does need to improve on those mistakes, but no QB could have played well getting sacked 5 times, hit 14 times, hurried even more than that in any playoff game. Period.

No, but it is kind of eery how similar things are going for both of them.

Why are these dumb post acceptable. Is Romo coming back? Rediculous stuff.

Now add the penalties that killed big plays and drives. Sure Prescott could have 100% perfect, but the rest not named Danger, LVE and Schultz were liabilities.

go rewatch the Vikings playoff games. Romo would have loved to have had the protection that Dak had yesterday during that game. 5 sacks... havent watched the All 22 yet but I going to guess at least 2 or 3 of those were self inflicted by Dak not getting rid of the ball in a timely manner because he processes too slowly.

No, it's because protection was not adequate while WRs were not getting open early. Long developing plays because of constantly being in 3rd & 10+ due to drive-killing penalties once again. Very easy to see and understand.

Romo was by FAR the better quarterback. To think otherwise is complete lunacy and comical. The people who solely blame him for all the late game int would be your small brain posters. Simply look at the bigger picture and it's remarkable what he did with the teams he had bar a year or two

Romo picked up and made alot of average players look good. Many left Dallas to go on to do nothing else. He also practically ran his own offense per ex teammates. He got tons of hate for his picks at the end of the game however it's going to happen when you carry trash defenses for the majority of your career.

Romo had what 23 or 24 comeback victories between 2006 - 2015 leading the nfl. Lead ALL quarterbacks in the 4th quarter and overtime passer rating during that span. His cowboys defense from 2010 on gave up more 30+ games besides two other teams. Let's not forget quarterbacks such as Brady, Rivers and etc had more game ending plays then Romo from 2011 on. Romo also had overall good postseason stats.

In those 8-8 seasons the only reason we come close to .500 is because of Romo. 90% of the quarterbacks would of barely won 4-5 games with those trash teams. If Romo didn't waste his career in Dallas and played for an actual football organization no doubt in my mind he would be a superbowl champion easily.

I love Romo, but people are mythologizing him and rewriting history in their minds to pretend he was better in the playoffs than he was.

For all you garbage people who are Googling how to tie a hangman's noose so you can lynch Dak because he's1-3 in the postseason and because he dared to QB the team to only 17 points in a game...

It's worth remembering Romo was only 1-3 after 4 postseason starts (with two games with passer ratings lower than Dak's lowest postseason pass rating). One of those games was a loss where he only QB'ed us to 17 points. Another was a game where he only led us to 3 measly points. THREE points. You people would literally murder Dak and his family if he scored only 3 in a playoff game.

Even if you look past his first 4 starts, jump ahead to 2014 when Romo had an absolutely elite o-line and elite weapons at WR, TE and RB... and the best Romo could manage was to QB us to games where we scored in the low 20's. But when it comes to Dak, every game where we don't score 40 is a crime.

Our fans really suck. Which we should all know by now.
